Longest Undefeated Streak In Pro Kabaddi League: Defending champions Jaipur Pink Panthers have surpassed the record for the longest undefeated run in Pro Kabaddi League’s history when they drew their most recent game against the Bengaluru Bulls 28-28.
The Pink Panthers, who defeated the Puneri Paltan in the final of the 2022 season to clinch the PKL title for the second time in their history, have quickly emerged to be the best team in the league this season. Not only have they lost only two out of 16 of their matches, but they are also on top of the table with 66 points.
But the most impressive feat achieved by the Jaipur Pink Panthers this season, or any other team for that matter, is that they are now undefeated in the last 12 of their matches.
The record for the longest undefeated streak in PKL before this season was held by U Mumba, who won 11 consecutive matches going into the final of the 3rd season of PKL in 2016, but then lost the final to Patna Pirates.
